The 86th Academy Awards have been handed out at a ceremony in Los Angeles, with Steve McQueen’s 12 Years A Slave taking home the coveted best picture Oscar. The film also picked up best supporting actress for Lupita Nyong’o and best adapted screenplay. While it didn’t win best picture, Gravity won an impressive total 7 Oscars, including best director and best cinematography. The utterly adorable Spike Jonze look home best original screenplay for Her. Best speech should go to Cate Blanchett who gave the ladies a shout-out, remarking “the world is round people”, people want to see female-lead films and they make money. Girl power indeed!! Fellow Australian Catherine Martin became Australia’s most prolific Oscar winner, taking home 2 awards tonight (costume and production design) for Gatsby, which brings her career total to 4 golden statues.

Ellen DeGengeres hosted a mostly amusing ceremony, with the host knowing how far she could push her jokes without actually offending anyone. I loved the opening and thought the pizza gag was the joke that kept on giving. She also managed to break twitter with the most retweeted photo ever. I hope The Academy welcomes Ellen back in 2015.

The full list of the 86th Academy Award winners is after the jump.
